Natural Resources Wales / Marine algae blooms or pollution? How to tell the difference this summer (naturalresources.wales)

As we head into the warmer months, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is reminding the public that marine algal blooms are a natural occurrence around the Welsh coastline, and are especially common between April and August.

Algal blooms are rapid increases in algae in the sea, lakes, and rivers often triggered by warmer temperatures and increased sunlight.

They include seaweeds and tiny plants suspended in the water and can look like green flakes, greenish bundles or brownish dots.
